While acknowledging this as a bug in the language, below is a fix for the time
being:

import std.stdio;

void parse(T, U = void, V = void)() {
    writeln("Wuddever");
}

void parse(T : U[V], U, V)() {
    writeln("Hash");
}

void main() {
    parse!(int[char[]])();
    parse!(int[])();
    parse!(int)();
}

The second suggestion:

void parse(T : E[])() {}

won't work because it's unclear whether E is a newly-introduced symbol ("must
be inferred") or a previously-defined symbol ("must be E that I defined in this
module").
